Dear Ms. Petridou,

Well, we promised to keep you updated and so
here is our first postcard! After Helsinki, we
flew straight to Moscow, Russia. We thought
it would be cold, but the weather is actually
nice and mild. The people are quite friendly
and they keep speaking Russian to us! We saw
an amazing ballet performance and a concert
and we went sightseeing in the famous Red
Square. We also ate blinis with sour cream and
tasted some borscht.
We’ll write soon,
Class B4.

Dear Ms. Petridou,
On from Russia and through India, to finally
reach China. Our reservations were at a lovely
hotel in Beijing, which is a beautiful, lively city.
The inhabitants ride their bicycles everywhere
and they are probably the politest people on
earth! We had healthy Chinese food with lots
of vegetables, although we couldn’t use the
chopsticks at all! North of Beijing, we visited
the Great Wall of China which winds its way
from mountaintop to mountaintop. Its total
length is around 6,500 km and it took nearly
1,000,000 men to build it! You can’t really tell
how big it is from the postcard. You have to
see it to believe it!
Everyone sends their love,
Class B4.

Dear Ms. Petridou,
After two days in China, we packed our bags
and headed for Japan. Tokyo looks a lot like a
big American city – chaotic and noisy! There
are so many people everywhere! Imagine: there
is even a special uniformed man who pushes and
squeezes people onto the underground! We
didn’t have time to visit any of the islands, but
we managed to see the majestic Mt. Fuji in the
distance with its snow-covered peak! We also
had some great sushi wrapped in sea weed.
Yum!
See you soon,
Sayonara,
Class B4.

Dear Ms. Petridou,
Our next destination was Australia, where we
are now. Did you know that the seasons here are
reversed and it is now winter? We have already
been to the famous Opera House where we
saw our very first opera and tomorrow we are
going to visit a wildlife reserve and hopefully
we’ll get our first glimpse of kangaroos and
koala bears. We hope all is well with you. Have
to go now; we’re going to buy some souvenirs!
We’ll bring you a shark tooth necklace that we
saw ... if anyone can understand the currency
here! ...
Lots of love from everyone,
Class B4.
